This is the thread in the Steam forums where several users reported no guidance for the mission:

Normally the issue is sidetracking after starting the mission to do other things and later on, when the mission is selected, no guidance is present.

I have the same problem. The mission target you to take the Xenon components from the destroyed ships, after finish that task the target disappear.

I've noticed a couple of times that mission guidance can disappear. If you try the following, one of them could lead to the guidance reactivating and leading you to an NPC:

1. Disable and Re-enable the Mission Guidance.
2. Set a different mission to active, then revert to the delivery mission.
3. Saving, under a new slot, and reloading.

Please let us know if one of these helps. Thanks.

I too got mission complete but still have mission listed as active. Does this mean the campaign will be stuck?

I am stuck for over a week at the same point. Mission success but no further guidance. None oft the mentioned above could solve the problem for me.

Just another person in the same boat. I've played for a while since I got held up there, which is to say that I've taken on and completed other missions, traveled around, had all sorts of guidance for those other missions...hasn't seemed to shake anything loose on the main mission chain.

I'm wondering: is there anyone who hasn't had this problem? That might be more useful--might indicate what you're supposed to do there to not get into the weeds.

Same issue, main plot, Xenon incursion - no clue of what to do or where to go. I kind'a thought maybe I was supposed to do other missions to upgrade and whatnot as the mission is very hard, but then I read this thread.

... but feel free to post here still if you discover more details about the failure trigger conditions or have a relevant vanilla save to help the devs investigate, etc.

I think they've been busy with all the X4 presentation stuff. I hope they can now get to fixing this issue for those of us who forked out for this title in good faith.

A little more transparency from the developer with regard to this title and its development would be nice.

Did I break the main quest ?

I'm playing on the Rift with Controllers and started with the vanilla start (the one where you have to rebuild the Skunk). I've done the tutorials to the point where I had to fly to Albion. I got there and now that quest seems broken. In the active quest panel it just says something about helping against the Xenon, and is marked as "very hard" and when I highlight it as active, nothing happens. There is no guidance or anything. Is it broken, or am I just supposed to go around killing Xenon from now on ?

Hi all.

I'm looking into this issue, and yes, there are cases where it can stall. What should happen is that sub-missions occur for you to take part in. But if you missed them for long enough, they would stop spawning.

It should be fixed in the next version.

it's too long for this problem

Well, I don't know if we've said when an update is next due out, but yes, it is before next year. We're working on it :roll:

EDIT: Split the reports about visual artifacts to this thread.

Did this get fixed? In the 4.21 patch?

There were some fixes which I confirmed by testing someones savegame.

Specifically, the issues fixed were:
Spoiler
Show
- Fixed the Xenon Incursion missions stalling if a number of mission events (those on the event monitor) were ignored
- Fixed end of mission logbook message for the 'Xenon Buildup' mission.
- Fixed end of mission balancing for the 'Lost contact' mission
- Fixed these missions taking guidance away from other active missions when running in parallel.

These two missions will occur randomly and present themselves in the event monitor and the BBS. Should you wish to ignore them, you can do, and they will then only appear in the BBS. Xenon activity should be relatively high in Albion until the end of the set of missions.
If for some reason, you still can't get these missions, please let us know.
